Harmless pranks can be fun. Especially around the office. Buttering the bathroom floor is something out of a Wile E. Coyote cartoon, might as well toss a toaster in the shower while you're at it. If my spouse did something like this I wouldn't suspect she was playing a joke, my initial suspicion would be whether or not she took out a fat insurance policy out on me because you are clearly putting someone's safety and well being at risk of permanent damage--not funny.
Anytime some risks the life of someone else it is not a prank. Pink flamingoing someone's yard is a prank. Buttering the floor - that shows absolutely NO common sense.
My brother and I had a plastic lawn goose we passed back and forth for over a year. Example - I came out of a shopping mall once and found it on my antenae. I'd wait a while then the goose would reappear on his porch, tree or bungie strapped to the front of his truck - when it was backed in the drive so he'd never see it. That's a prank.
He also could do incredible voices and used to call my voice mail at work and leave messages like he was a customer. They were voices from all corners of the globe and though he really duped me good a few times - it was pure gold. I even tape recorded them and kept them.
On the flip side, what was described as a prank with the butter, reminds me of a SO who was just messing with the lady behind us in the car because he thought she was driving too close and did one of those slam on the breaks for the hell of it and kept looking in the rearview mirrror and doing it and laughing. I was about to start a new job in 3 days and did not have insurance at that moment and just chewed him out about that - what if I was seriously injured?
I thought his actions were completely childish and reckless and lacked all common sense because he had absolutely no regard for my safety so I couldn't trust him....and it crossed my mind, what if we'd had a child in a car seat and this is how much regard he has. NOPE. I just couldn't look at him the same after that and I honestly don't see the difference between that and the butter.
This. I don't think that kind of stupid prank happened out of the blue. They must do that to one another all the time.
I fell on our honeymoon, getting out of the shower. I busted my chin open and still have the scar. I would be really ticked if someone did that to me on purpose.
We're not big prank-pullers. I am a jumpy person, though--I'm easy to startle when I am focused on something or not paying attention. I was brushing my teeth once and suddenly noticed my husband had snuck into the bedroom and was leering at me right outside the door. I spit toothpaste down the front of myself. We still laugh about that.
Wow, that must have killed the mood. Glad you weren't hurt worse.
LOL, Chow's really jumpy like that, too. The same thing happens to us, but I'm not even trying to scare him. He'll be brushing his teeth or something and I'll be outside the door because I want to ask him something and he'll suddenly spot me and jump about a foot. It's hilarious, but I'm not even trying to do it.

Oh it was a riot because we worked in the same industry and they were the voices of customers from the businesses I stole from him. Which is why he got me good. He knew these people and where they worked. And they were always mad about something too. I don't know how he did it without laughing.
My husband and I were watching the infamous "buttered floor" video on YouTube last night. Then we clicked onto another video of a woman buttering the bathroom floor as the guy was taking a shower. Of course, when he got out, he busted his a** HARD!! While it provided entertainment, this guy could have really been hurt. It got me wondering what if he had hit head and suffered brain damage, broke his back, etc. could he still be with his wife.
I asked myself this question and honestly don't know if I could stay married to my husband if I were injured so severely even though I know it wasn't intentional on his part.
What say you CD'ers?
That was a very foolish idea and certainly not even a good "prank."
I think that the couple involved needs SERIOUS and immediate counseling.
Frankly,given that women usually have a better grasp on the seriousness of things than a lot of men,I'd be hesitant to get involved w/ a woman that would think that something like this would be "funny."
And that would post it on the Internet.

My parents and I do that! I got a little fondue pot as a wedding gift and had never used it, so I tried to sell it at my parents' garage sale a couple years ago. Nobody bought it, and it wound up in a big batch of stuff that they donated to a church for a rummage sale. A few months after that, my husband and I moved to Illinois, and my parents came to visit us. They brought some housewarming gifts ... including that little fondue pot. Har har. It was my dad's idea.
I am going to visit them on Thursday, and guess what will be among the gifts I bring them? It's a chunky cube of a box, so it'll wrap nicely, and enough time has passed that they'll be surprised.
Your brother sounds like a riot.
